John Byrne (Irish artist)

After graduation, he began practising as a performance artist while attending the Slade School of Art in London in the mid-1980s.

The work was meant to be reflective of a changing society and the growing cultural mix in Dublin.

[6] Misneach was a major permanent sculptural work commissioned as part of Breaking Ground's Public Art programme.

This monumental bronze sculpture of a horse and rider is rendered in a style typical of the European tradition of portraying generals or heads of state.

In August 2010 he presented Casting Light a video projection mapped onto the façade of a bank in Cavan which was showcased during the Fleadh Cheoil.
